The elephants were livelier this visit. I think they are looking forward to their new digs. Their current enclosure is tiny for 2 elephants, and their new one looks more "natural", with more grass & trees.
The turtles were in fine form as well. In fact, they were racing all over the place (okay, slow & steady racing).
One meerkat kept lying in the sun like he was exhausted. It was a little creepy, since it looks like he's dead instead of napping.
I was sad to see the sign that said Bobbles had been put down. The previous signs always said that he was "special" but that his wobbling and hobbling wasn't a problem for him. I will miss Bobbles... he was one of the highlights of my zoo visits.
Here's a pic of the infamous Gharial that we have sponsored through our zoo membership. The guy with the open mouth never moved... I'm not sure if he was asleep with his mouth open, or just hoping a bird would land inside if he kept still just a little longer.
